Feeding yolk to guppy fry

Feeding my day old guppy fry. Boiled an egg, separated the yolk, added water and strained it through tissue paper, fed with a 1ml syringe.

How do you clean the water after feeding it as i heard it can be toxic if you leave it for too long? :/

[sunwutzu]

@YogaHunni keep the bottom clean by siphoning it, carefully :)

i feed this to my guppy fry and guppy adults... a guppy adult can eat it too!

@sunwutzu thanks so much. My guppy fry are now 5 days old, and growing pretty well. By the way do you think egg causes them to grow faster than guppy fry fed on flakes?

Thanks, Game

@gamenfish1 the egg will spoil the water, generating ammonia. You need to change water frequently when using it. Just be careful to match the tank's temperature with the new water. Try to siphon the egg out of the tank as you let water out of the tank.

@sunwutzu one of my female guppy's gave birth to 4 fry, and since i am a beginner i don't really know what t feed them. I fed them a small teaspoon of boiled egg mixed with water, but i haven't cleaned the tank yet. They are currently in a breeding trap, as i have no more tanks to put them in. Does the egg really get toxic after a while!?!?!? PLEASE respond.

Thanks, Game

@MrTurtlelover22 you don't have to feed your guppy fry yolk. You can take normal fish flakes and mince them up into fine dust with your fingertips and they will eat it. The yolk is just to make them grow faster. You just boil an egg for 5 minutes or long enough to hardboil it. Then you take just a bit of the eggyolk, mix it with a bit of cold water, and feed it to them into the water. The fry have small mouths and are good at finding food so they will eat it.
